IMPAIRMENT OF HUMAN FORM

A Law to Prevent Padding Suggested.
New YORK, Aug. 13.-For a couple of
months l have gone twice each week to
some Turkish bath, and have visited in this
time all the best baths in New York The
experience has brought me to believe that
Congress should pass law compelling every
man TO wear tights and providing boards of
inspection to prevent padding. Nothing
can be done for the race from an artistic
standpoint till it really finds out how IL
looks, and nothing but extensive observation
can accomplish that. In my tour among
the Turkish baths of New York
have seen several thousand men adorned
only by thin rubber key bands around
their necks. | have seen not one we'll
formed man, and the only approach to it |
discovered was an attendant whose frame
was well knit, though not particularly
graceful All the strong men of good gen
eral development were bow-legged, and the
straight limbed men had no flesh on their
bones. The broad shouldered men were
hollow chested, and the men with good
chests had no muscular development of legs
or arms Then there were the fat men,
awful to look upon. 1t was depressing to
see such people, and nothing but full
length mirror saved me from the crime of
the Pharisee.
1t may be claimed that those who visit
Turkish baths are mostly invalds. and that
consequently the standard ofphysical excel
lcnce c, uld not be high, but do not believe
that this is the case. In my opinion the ma
iority of those whom saw were there sim
ply to enjoy the luxury of the bath and TO
obtain its aid in enduring the hot weather
Some of the fat men probably came for the
purpose of reducing their flesh. but the per-
centage is small The fact Of the matter is
that 90 men out of 100 are so Informed as to
be absolutely a painful spectacle TO any one
who admires the human form divine. As TO
women am an agnostc and Il pessimist.
Common sense would help them, but its
coming is merely an Utopian dream
It is a mistake to suppose that an ordinary
bathing costume shows a man as he is. II
frequently makes him look worse; some
times better, but never rs be is. Ordinary
clothing is worse, of course. watched two
men whom | bad seen in the bath to observe
how they would look in street dress The
result was as / expected. The straight but
lean man, whose muscles seemed hardly
capable of holding him together, appeared
of elegant figure on the street, while the at
tendant have spoken of looked clumsy and
his trousers couldn't be made to hang prop
erly around his ankles, because he had
calf to his leg.
New York is probably no worse than the
average city in this matter. Certainly there
Is a need of reform. What can be donef

Welded.

Welded. All, what world of Joy or sorrow this
one word declares.
Welded and yet minated, it speaks of signs
and tears:
But welded and truly mated, all what a 10y is
this,
Therein the angels see a kindred bliss.
Welded and yet minated!
Doomed to life of miserable failure,
Spoiled by an influence as deadly as the grave.
Life stripped of every noble aspiration.
Two lives to baSer passions made the slave
All tbs spectacle to make the angels weep:
And yet to such fate the thoughtless madly
leap
Welded and yet minated; consider such pair:
The man grows cynical, the woman cross
They grow Indifferent to both gain and loss.
No sympathy between them; yet the link that
binds
Them shuts them out from sympathy more kind
misunderstanding condemns their best motives
Suspicion is ever alert TO defame;
Their noblest impulses ever are thwarted
BY coming in contact with cruel disdaiu
And so all the good of their natures is soured.
And nothing is left but suspicion and care:
The good germs that else " here had beautifully
Powered
Are rotted, and nothing but evil is there
And yet there is hope in this awful dilemma,
That out of its ashes some good may arise
That these two illmated may ripen together,
If they work in the vineyard that sows for the
skies:
DeterminedIy stunning the points of their dis
They seek for the peace this world cannot af-
They bow bow to the Master. and pray that He take

Themselves and their idols,
And thus they grow happy in serving their
Lord.
Welded and truly mated
How find we such pair?

Leaving Many Friends.

After a season of most remarkable fea
lures, Yellowstone Kit, the prince of medi-
cine sellers, and a lavish distributor of
money and patronage, departed from Jack
sonville this week, leaving behind him many
stanch friends and many people who We're
greatly benefited by his treatment and
cures. He certainly reaped "A bountifu har-
vest, but he has certainly disburSed as many
hundreds of dollars in our midst. Il seems
a very habyish and foolish act on the part of
few merchants who raised an cutlery
against this mans appearance and sales in
our city.
The TRADE journal representative knows
it to be n fact that in the purchase of trunks,
clothing, jewelry, printing, advertising,
hotel bills, salaries that were respent in the
main by his people among our merchants,
and in rental for his stand, license and the
many little things that go to make up a
large aggregate, Kit disbursed over. 81 900
in four weeks. 1t was not like a circus that
boards its own people, stops one day and
carries away great deal of money The
beauty of it was that Kit paid promptly
every bill presented. Such visitors deserve
courteous remembrance. Hundreds of let
ters of thanks for cures, and not an ill-feel-
ing on the part of patients treated, speak
volumes for the powers Of both Kit and his
remedies. He is also gentleman by birth,
a stanch friend and man of abilities that
are natural. He is quoted by mercantile
agencies as worth five millions OF dollars,
and our local bankers speak kindly of him
aud his manager Mr.. John Waller. Kit
viii buy large tract of rich land of one of
o,r leading real estate houses, two site, be-
ing now looked at, and he intends to found
a city to be called Kits Town, as we'll as
build sanitarums and a hotel there. Good
luck TO Kit.

O Close Call.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 19-There was
a better attendance to-day at Citizens
Park to witness the third set-to between
Savannah and the home team in which the
latter won by ii score of is to t2. The CON
test was smuggling match rather than a
game. Nearly all of the runs made by both
sides were earned, and good many
errors not noted in the official score
were made by the players Memphis began
batting heavily in the first inning and kept
it up with telling effect until the third.
Savannah also opened by taking deadly aim
at the ball, and sent four men
around the bases Memphis mauled
out another in the fourth, and Savannah
did likewise. The visitors added one more
run in the fifth, and from this time on
began to gain upon the locals In the
eighth inning Savannah was only one run
behind Memphis and was passing them
The ninth inning proved to be the
most interesting portion of the game. The
home team was put out in short order and
the visitors, with good batting crowd
stood before German for their last inning
only one behind their advelsaries It was
only matter of few moments. however,
before the Conqueror received the cheers of
the multitude The game was not distin-
guiGhed by any particular brilliant features
The score by innings was:
